    JAKARTA, INDONESIA - Walking with long steps and his smile lighting up a rainy afternoon, Barack Obama seems to have arrived to visit a school he attended as a boy. But wait. He's not real Obama. The US president is back in Washington, D. C.
    So who is this guy? He's llham Anas, 34, a magazine photographer who has taken advantage of his perfect resemblance(相像) to Obama and turned it into his own wealth.
    When his sister first mentioned the resemblance, Anas dismissed it. Then a friend asked him to pose as Obama in front of a US flag. He also refused. "I'm a photographer, not an object for the camera," he said.
    However, as soon as he accepted the idea, his career took off. Recently a group of reporters followed him on a tour of the school Obama once attended. Anas sat in the classroom where the present US president once studied. He spoke a few lines in English. The moment he opened his mouth, however, the differences became clear. “Obama is a baritone (男中音) ,” Anas said.  “I'm not. I sound like a little boy.” He is also shorter than the president, but he makes up for that by practicing Obama's actions.    
    He says he has made a request to meet President Obama when he arrives, but he hasn't heard back from the president' s schedules. Now he no longer sees an average guy. Now he sees a superstar.
    Now, Anas hopes that Obama will win a second term in the White House. “The longer he's in office, the longer my fame will last,” he said.

    A．Obama has met Anas once in Indonesia.
    B．Anas didn't become rich until he got to know Obama.
    C．Obama studied in Indonesia when he was young.
    D．Anas is a baritone but he can sound like a little boy.
    小题3: We can learn from the passage that Anas now ______ .
    A．longs for a simple lifeB．is proud of his appearance
    C．keeps in touch with ObamaD．wants to become a politician
    小题4: Why does Anas hope Obama will be president in the next term？

    BEIJING changed the office hours of many institutions starting April 12 in the hope of reducing traffic jams during rush hour.
    The new policy asked 800,000 employees to replace their former working schedule of 8:30 am to 5:30 pm with the new working hours of 9 am to 6 pm.
    This is just one part of the Beijing municipal government’s plan to fight traffic jams. Starting April 1, daytime parking fees in 13 downtown areas were raised to encourage less driving. On April 2, the government announced limitations launched after the Beijing Olympics would be extended until April 2012. These ban Beijing’s 5.8 million drivers from driving one workday each week. The ban is based on the last number of the car license plate.
    A multi-billion yuan fund has also been set up to build more underground ring roads in heavily populated areas. Major roads above ground will also be expanded.
    According to Beijing’s traffic authorities, key projects include repairing major ring roads and expanding the subway network. The city will also create more taxi stops and bike rental stations, probably under the hundreds of overpasses (天桥) citywide.
    Beijing’s fight against traffic jams is a smaller example of what is happening all around China. The central government is now supporting new ideas that will change the future of Chinese roads.
    Bus rapid transit (BRT,快速公交系统) is one such idea. Special bus lanes carry almost as many passengers as a subway system. They cost less and are becoming popular in many big cities. Now Beijing has five BRT lines
    Shanghai is dealing with traffic problems by charging higher fees for license plates（牌照）. The city is also controlling the total number of plates sold. Now, it is considering a plan to charge cars for entering the central business district, as London does.
    Meanwhile, there are signs that Chinese are more aware of the serious problem of traffic. For example, there has been a sharp increase in the number of posts looking for carpooling (拼车) partners on major websites.
    By the end of March, 2010, China had 192 million cars, according to the Ministry of Public Security.
    小题1: The article is mainly about___________.
    A．the fight against traffic jams all around the world
    B．the increase of daytime parking fees in 13 downtown areas in Beijing
    C．the Beijing municipal government’s measures to reduce traffic jams
    D．news ideas that are likely to change the future of Chinese roads
    小题2: According to the new policy, workday office hours in Beijing will be___________.
    A．from 8:00 am to 5:00 pmB．from 9 am to 6 pm
    C．from 8:30 am to 5:30 pmD．from 7:30 am to 4: 30 pm
    小题3: The plans made by the Beijing municipal government to fight traffic jams include all the following except ____________
    A．adjustments to office hours B．increases in daytime parking fees
    C．the extension of the limitations launched after the Beijing Olympics
    D．charging higher fees for license plates
    小题4: The article tells us that____________.
    A．the BRT system will become common China’s rural areas
    B．the Chinese government is aiming at changing the future of Chinese roads
    C．the Shanghai government has charged cars for entering the central business district
    D．here are enough ways to deal with traffic jams in Beijing

    UNICEF reports that 40 million children below the age of 15 suffer from abuse(虐待) and neglect. The USA National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse finds 3 million new reports of child abuse or neglect every year.
    According to such information on human rights abuses of children, the United Nations declared 2010 as the International Year of Youth. In answer to the common human rights abuses of young people, Dr. Mary Shuttleworth of Youth for Human Rights International(YHRI) recently completed her seventh annual World Tour to five continents in eighty days. The purpose of the tour is to promote the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights to tens of thousands of children and officials.
    According to UNICEF, 1.2 million children are illegally traded all over the world every year.
    Sold as goods, these children are forced into inhuman labor, denied basic education and robbed of their childhoods. Youth who do not know their rights are easily cheated by ill-intentioned men. That is why YHRI thinks highly of education.
    “When the United Nations declared 2010 as the International Year of Youth, I knew that their human rights had to be greater than ever,” Dr. Shuttleworth said. The tour reached Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Ecuador, Brazil, South Africa, Swaziland, Portugal, Sardinia, Sicily, Italy, Greece, Taiwan, Japan, Hawaii and Los Angeles.
    The YHRI World Tour 2010 has reached tens of thousands of students as well as officials, educators, and religious leaders and thus promotes human rights education to millions more.

           New York: When the first plane struck 1 World Trade Center at 8:48 am on Tuesday, the people in 2 World Trade Center who saw the instant (瞬间的) damage to the other tower realized clearly what they, too, must do: get out fast.
    Katherine Ilachinsiki, who had been knocked off her chair by the blast (一阵)of heat exploding from the neighboring tower, was one of those. Despite her 70 years of age, Mrs Ilachinsiki, an architect working on the 91st floor of 2 World Trade Center, the south tower, went for the stairs. Twelve floors above her, Judy Wein, an executive (经理), cried sharply and set off too.
    But others up and down the 110 floors, many without seeing the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was happening, were not so sure. And the 18 minutes before the next plane would hit were ticking off.
    Most people had no idea about what was the best thing to do, formal announcements inside the south tower asked people to stay put, assuring them that the building was sound and the threat was limited to the other tower.
    Some left, others stayed. Some began to climb down and, when met with more announcements and other cautions (警告) to stop or return, went back up. The decisions made in those instants proved to be of great importance, because many who chose to stay were killed completely when the second plane crashed into the south tower.
    One of those caught in indecision (犹豫不决) was the executive at Fuji Bank USA.
    Richard Jacobs of Fuji Bank left the 79th floor with the other office workers, but on the 48th floor they heard the announcement that the situation was under control. Several got in the lifts and went back up, two minutes or so before the plane crashed into their floor.
    “I just don’t know what happened to them,” Mr Jacobs said.
    小题1:From the passage, we know that the south tower was hit by the plane ________.
    A．at 8:30B．18 minutes earlier than the north tower
    C．at around 9:06D．at 8:48
    小题2:The underlined words “stay put” means ________.
    A．stay in the buildingB．leave at once
    C．put everything back and then leaveD．keep silent
    小题3:Which floor was hit by the second plane?
    A．The 91st floorB．The 103rd floorC．The 60th floorD．The 79th floor
    小题4:Fewer people would have died if       .
